Mallorca drop down to eighth
in the table after drawing 0-0 against Athletic Bilbao, their fourth home game
in a row without a win. The visitors applied the early pressure, Navarro
blocking an effort from Etxeberría and Lux saving from David
López.
But Varela headed against
the post for the islanders midway through the first half, and Aranzubia did
well to keep out a header from Pereyra. And although Nunes was sent off on the
half hour mark for insulting the referee, Güiza could have given the home
side the lead when he shot wide close to half time.
Both keepers were in action
early in the second half, Lux stopping an effort from Llorente and Aranzubia
saving from Güiza. Caparrós urged his men forward, and Lux had to
keep out Etxeberría again. But the locals could have won it in the final
moments, Basinas shooting over the bar with the goal at his mercy in injury
time. |
